It was a wonderful night - Food was excellent, Service friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back. As suggested we asked for 1/2 portions but the servings were huge. The waiter said Small that is small - The Chief weighs 500 Pounds and said was a 1/2 portion LOL LOL haha....300 lbs.....! that would be me after your 'sojourn' on the sea.....29 days of the 'best' and 'high caloric' dining.....AND....34 coming up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted April 17, 2022 #957 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Well, if those are half portions in Tuscan, I'd hate to see full portions! I may have to give Tuscan one more try next week since it's included with my cabin. I've never had good luck there. Best wishes to the poor soul who is being medically evacuated. Happy Easter! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted April 17, 2022 #959 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Jim, how was the veal marsalla? I have always gotten the filet, but since we are in a suite next cruise and there is filet available often in Luminae, I'd like to try something different.

In our suite only have about 6 inches on each side to squeeze my hand in to find the slot. In many rooms where you have better access much easier. Once fired up - go to Roku Settings and choose Ships Wifi - then you have to log in using the pop up mode instructions for dorm or hotel. I did a quick video on how to access the HDMI menu Thank you. Think we may try. Have a wonderful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really comfortably filled and not stuffed. we both thought. The soups were excellent. most of specialty closed at lunch due to lack of guest interest. A bowl 🥣 of soup and crusty bread would make a perfect lunch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the veal Marsala last year on the Equinox and it was one of the best I can remember, it had 5 different kinds of mushrooms. We enjoyed Tuscan but the service was not even close to Luminae.

To be honest I didn't notice anything at all. Kinda like Easter - some themed deserts but that was about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiff2 Posted April 17, 2022 #975 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The basket they will lower is usually referred to as a “Stokes Basket.” Just a random addition to conversation! The basket is used by Fire Departments for rescue and transport services. (Go NYFD!) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
